Have you heard of the band ‘Logos’?
I have. The band that incorporates history into their songs! I love them.

I read in a magazine that they’re releasing a song about Japanese history, particularly, the warring states era. How cool is that?
Really? How I wish they were already a band when I was in high school. It would‘ve been easier to study history.

True that. My friend Ron, a history teacher, plays their songs occasionally during his lectures. He says his students love them.
That sounds cool. I hope they make a song about the fall of the Romanovs.
